pleco health

0

Hi Guy's I was wondering if you could help me. I have a pleco in my 90ltr tank, I'm not sure on what breed he is or of how old as he is from the dental surgery I work in. I've had him myself for 9 months, he's been doing really well. I also have an angel fish and 9 tetras in the tank with him. But today I came home from work to find him lying on the bottom of the tank not really moving and he has a bulge on the top of his head just in front of his dorsal fin. Not only this but his eyes seem to have shrunk in his sockets. Is there anything I can do to the tank/him. Or does anyone know what is wrong woth him? All help would be much appriciated.

Pics would help the more experienced members. Also you will need to post your parameters:

How long has your tank been set up
what is your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.
temp
water change schedule if any
also feeding schedule and what you are feeding him
any meds you may have put in the tank
